If I had to choose a person to hate, Alex Ramรญrez would’ve been first on the list…
Welcome to Honey Creek, Illinois, where life was as sweet as the town’s name suggested. That was, until Mr. Fine Dining himself, Alex Ramรญrez, rolled into town with a permanent scowl and decided to park his snooty five-star restaurant across from my cozy dog daycare. He was tall, dark, and about as warm as a frozen entrรฉe.
After one too many unpleasant interactions, I was determined to stay out of his way and to keep him out of mine.
But fate had a quirky sense of humor. When Alex inherited his great-aunt’s cranky canine, he had no choice but to come to me, the local dog whisperer, for help. As for me? I needed a fake boyfriend to ward off my ex-husband, who was determined to win me back.
So, we struck a deal: I’d turn his dog into the town’s best-behaved pet, and in return, he’d be my arm candy for a few family events and social gatherings. Simple, uncomplicated, and absolutely not romanticโat least, that was what we told ourselves.
As we played house, I couldn’t help but notice that underneath Alex’s prickly shell was a dash of charm that wasn’t listed in the ingredients. Our pretend dates started to feel a little too real. And our feigned kisses? They were getting laughably close to crossing the line. Suddenly our interactions felt less like a food fight and more like foreplay.
With every playful touch and lingering glance, I couldn’t help but wonder: Was this fake relationship with Alex secretly penning its own authentic ending? Or was I risking it all for something that was nothing more than make-believe?

๐Review๐
Angelโs career as a DEA agent has given her the skills to pursue the people behind her brotherโs desk however when it leads her to the Death Cheaters MC she is the one who is in for a surprise. She is conflicted between her feelings for three of the members Baron, Cash and Reid and what she believes is true.
Baron, Cash and Reid are all attracted to Angel, and she feels the same way. The only problem is that her investigation and their feelings for each other will result in Angel being caught in the crossfire between them and the guilty party.
Angel is strong and independent, but she has met her match in Baron, Cash and Reid. They take us on an action-packed adventure filled with surprises, suspense and steam.

And in an instant, I allowed my instincts to run away from me. I lunged for that manโs side, felt the cold hardened metal of his gun against my palm, and ripped it out of its holster. I needed a weapon with me to get out of this situation. I wasnโt going to be caught without one like last time.
Until something came down against the nape of my neck.
โOh, no you donโt,โ a voice grunted.
Out of nowhere, my body slammed against the floor and was quickly flipped over. Pain streaked through my body, robbing me of a voice to cry out with. The man in the black leather jacket straddled me as he smiled down with his two golden front teeth. He stood there, with his feet on either side of my body, staring down at me from his perched position. Somehow, in all of the movement, he had wrestled the gun out of my hands. And as he held it at my head, he cocked the plunger back, aimed and ready to fire.
โHell no. Not like this,โ I grunted.
I moved my hand as quickly as I could. I tangled my legs with his and tripped him up, taking him to the ground as I reached toward the back of his gun. I managed to find the button to pop the magazine out and tried to push the plunger forward, but before I could, a gunshot rang out. A gunshot so big and so bright that it rang my ears and shook my brain in my skull.
โANGEEEEL!โ Reid bellowed.
โLights out for you,โ Scarface whispered against my ear before the barrel of his gun slammed against my temple.

When sheโs not writing, sheโs editing.

From USA TODAY Bestselling Author Willow Winters comes a fast paced and sizzling fated mates standalone romance in her best selling paranormal world.
Fate never prepared me for seeing my mate with the claiming mark of my enemy.
She doesnโt know sheโs my mate. She doesnโt feel the burning pull between us. The desperate need to love and be loved by me as I feel raging inside me.
None of this should have happened this way.
I donโt know how she came to be his, but Iโll slowly torture him if his claim has broken my mateโs ability to feel our bond.
The war has already begun and when the dust settles she will be mine.
I canโt imagine an existence without her โฆ and my greatest fear is that itโs all too late.
Broken Fate is a complete standalone. You can read it without reading anything else or enjoy it before or after the Wounded Kiss trilogy.
๐Review๐
Jude has been sent on a reconnaissance to gather intel on an enemy pack but what he sees Lena he finds something much more valuable. She is the mate he had give up hope of ever finding however she has been mated to another who doesnโt deserve her and she is carrying his baby. He knows that he canโt let the situation stand so he doesnโt hesitate to rescue her and her family.
Lena doesnโt want to be with the man who has claimed her as his mate, but the safety of her child and her family depends on it. When she is rescued by Jude, she worries she is leaving one bad situation for another until he and his pact show her that she is finally where she belongs.
After all they have been through, I enjoyed seeing Lena and Jude find their true mate and the camaraderie between the pack members is always fun to watch.
Meet Willow Winters:
I started writing after having my little girl, Evie, December of 2015. All during my pregnancy with her I read. I only wanted to read romance novels and I read everything I could get my hands on. I would read a book a day โ sometimes two. In January I was staying up late with her and just thinking of all these stories. They came to me constantly. I finally sat down and just started writing. I always wanted to do it so I figured, why not?
I never thought I would reach this point of success to be honest. Itโs insane to me that I have connected with so many readers.
And I love each and every one of them for all of their support. Iโll be honest, some days are HARD. I have my littles during the day and I write at night. Some days are just simply exhausting and then I hear from a reader and it motivates me to push through and keep writing. I couldnโt be more grateful for this wonderful career.

Heโs married to his mission. Sheโs married to her career. Will Hale and Elsa allow their hearts to surrender and let love in?
Fighting the Pull, the heartrending, emotional fifth standalone book in the River Rain Series from New York Times bestselling author Kristen Ashley is available now!
Hale Wheeler inherited billions from his father. Heโs decided to take those resources and change the world for the better. Heโs married to his mission, so he doesnโt have time for love.
Thereโs more lurking behind this decision. He hasnโt faced the tragic loss of his father, or the bitterness of his parentsโ divorce. He doesnโt intend to follow in his fatherโs footsteps, breaking a womanโs heart in a way it will never mend. So he vows heโll never marry.
But Hale is intrigued when he meets Elsa Cohen, the ambitious celebrity news journalist who has been reporting on his famous family. He warns her off, but she makes him a deal. Sheโll pull back in exchange for an exclusive interview.
Elsa Cohen is married to her career, but she wants love, marriage, children. She also wants the impossibly handsome, fiercely loyal, tenderhearted Hale Wheeler.
They go head-to-head, both denying why there are fireworks every time they meet. But once they understand their undeniable attraction, Elsa canโt help but fall for the dynamic do-gooder.
As for Hale, he knows he needs to fight the pull of the beautiful, bold, loving Elsa Cohen, because breaking her would crush him.
The thing on my mind that I wasnโt admitting was taking more headspace than it should was the fact that Hale had texted the day before. Again. Why he wasnโt letting himself off the hook about this interview he never wanted in the first place, I did not know. And it wasnโt going to be me who let him off the hook. Oh no. Not officially. But I wasnโt returning his texts, so unofficially, the guy should take a hint. Weโd made a deal almost a year before. The deal was, Iโd kinda, sorta lay off his family, heโd give me an interview. I couldnโt totally lay off his family. They were the most celebrated celebrities in the world. Even the ones who hadnโt sought that out, like Chloe Pierce and Judge Oakley. But there were a great many different kinds of celebrity news, and it didnโt seem like Hale Wheeler had cottoned on to the fact I wasnโt a mudslinger. Sure, I also wasnโt an objective journalist. But I wasnโt TMZ either. Nugget of news: you could share gossip for a living and still be classy. I was proof of that (or I thought I was). I had my key ready to put into the four locks on the door to the building where my studio was in Brooklyn, and with practiced ease, I was out of the New York autumn morning cold in no time. I locked the door behind me and headed to the space in the sectioned off warehouse that I rented for my studio. I had to unlock that door too (only three locks this time), and once inside, I practically ran into Chuck, my cameraman, who was for some reason right there and crowding me. My space was small, but this was weird. I looked at his face, andโฆgreat. Weโd probably been burgled. It wasnโt like I had a ton of expensive equipment, but what I had was hard won. I had offers coming in, and they were healthier than Iโd allowed myself to dream, but I hadnโt signed on any dotted line. So, for the foreseeable future, ongoing operating costs, and any expansion, was on me. I didnโt have time to deal with police reports and insurance companies telling me how little they could actually replace seeing as some small line in their contract exempted them from doing what I paid them to do. Nor did I need to be shelling out to replace stuff. โWhatโs up?โ I warily asked Chuck. โHale Wheeler is here,โ he whispered. Oh no. That was worse than being burgled. My gaze flew beyond Chuck to my set which was a one-step dais on which sat a mint green velvet swivel chair with a glass-topped gold side table beside it. These were in front of a greenscreen backdrop we could make anything we wanted it to be. Though usually it was subtle pastel green and peach swirls against a soft white with the words โElsaโs Exchangeโ repeated throughout. And damn it all to hell, there he was. Tall, ridiculously handsome, athletically built Hale Wheeler, the richest man in the world.
๐Review๐ Hale finds himself trying to heal from the death of his father and ensure that some good comes of it as he wants to not only help people but foster changes for society as a whole. The one thing he doesnโt want is to allow Elsa close and expose all the secrets that his family wants to keep so they come up with an agreement that will meet both their needs.
Elsa has worked hard to achieve the success she has received as a journalist. When it comes to her career, she accepts who she is, what she has done and where she wants to go. She believed that she knew what the outcome of her agreement with Hale would be but when feelings become involved nothing is ever as you expected.
Due to his past Hale has no interest in love or a relationship while Elsa wants it but doesnโt believe that it will happen with Hale despite what her heart feels. They are exactly what the other needs as they have a way of challenging each other that allows them to break through the walls they have built around themselves and open their hearts to each other.
Nervous, scared, and completely unqualified. That’s the way I walked into Jack Shaw’s office building. I walked out with my stomach in knots for a completely different reason. My heart is pounding like I had actually went running.
ย
My head and heart war with quitting or working through the fiery desire he stimulates through me. At the end of the day, I leave the decision to him. The problem is I can’t tell if he wants to toss me over his desk or out on my rear. I guess by the dark look in his eyes, I’ll soon find out.
๐ง Review – My Pet๐ง
Petra works for a temp agency and has just been assigned to be the executive assistant to the demanding CEO. She isnโt certain what to make of the manโs behavior but the one thing she does know is that she needs the job so she canโt give in to the attraction she has for him.
From the moment that Jack saw Petra he knew that he would be claiming her as his own. Now he just needs time to convince her and that means ensuring that no other man is allowed close.
The chemistry between them is intense and Jack wasnโt about to let anyone or anything stand in their way. I listened to the audio copy and thought the narrators were a good choice for the characters and their story.
Julien: After going through numerous candidates, I’ve found the best baker to work alongside me. Marilyn Shaw’s baked goods are works of art that rival my own. She bakes the most delicious desserts, but I don’t want them. I want her.
Marilyn: I could have my own bakery if I wanted, and my older brother would have it set up for me in a heartbeat. The problem is that I have something to prove. I’m not a spoiled girl who gets everything her brother throws her way, but people have always assumed it, so I’ve worked tirelessly to get perfect grades in my pastry program. Now, to show off my skills in a bakery. The only problem is everyone believes I got the job by sleeping with my new boss. And I am . . .
๐ง Review – My Cookie๐ง
Marilyn is determined to forge her own path as a pastry chef so decides to enter a competition where employers are looking for new bakers. The night before the competition she meets a sexy stranger and she spends a steamy evening with him never expecting to see him again until he appears at the competition and offers her a job.
Julien is a successful businessman who is at the competition looking for a baker but wants so much more when he sees Marilyn. He didnโt know that she would be one of the competitors but once he sees her there he is determined to claim her as his own both personally and professionally.
I enjoyed the performance of the narrators as they brought out all the heat and heart of this story.
Knight Grayson isn’t just one of New York’s elite billionaires.
He’s the embodiment of Hades in a tailored suit and a beautiful devil waiting to destroy.
He always gets what he wants, no matter the cost.
Including me.
One harmless, sexy encounter places him in my path and before I know it, I’m caught in his strategic trap.
Although he insists Iโm not his Persephone, he steals me away from my almost-fiancรฉฬ.
And my life.
This isnโt like the mythical tale of old driven by love.
To him, Iโm a pawn in a game of power because I have something he wants.
In order to build his empire and get his legacy, he needs my inheritance.
Since the only way to get that is to marry me, he forces my hand by using my father.
Six months of marriage, along with the ownership of my inheritance, and my fatherโs extortionate debts will go away.
To save my father, I signed Knight’s contract, binding myself to every term and condition.
But then, the boundaries between us begin to blur.
Each public kiss, intended for show, feels dangerously genuine and pulses with undeniable attraction.
As his hunger for power evolves into a craving for me, we start to forget that our marriage is a contract.
Yearning for his touch was never part of the plan.
Neither was becoming his new obsession.
But when the veil lifts, revealing his dark secrets and twisted lies, we both realize we have more to lose than just ourselves.
Ruthless Knight is a billionaire, forced proximity, fake relationship, and arranged marriage novel inspired by the Hades and Persephone myth. It is a complete standalone with mature language, themes, and content intended for mature readers only.
I am just an acolyte in the Temple, sworn to purity of mind and body.
An average young woman with doubts and hopes and dreams.
Iโm certainly not a prophesied Fae omega who will help bring back the lost Fae race.
Not me.
And Iโm definitely not the woman who will gather a clan of alphas and maybe betas and deltas around her and start popping out their babies.
No way.
Iโm human, as human as they come. Just a girl, with all the imperfections and traumas to show for it.
Abandoned at the Temple by my mother.
Not sure I have a single real friend in the world.
Lost.
But when I awakenโas Fae-blood and yeah, as omega to bootโone thing is for sure: the Temple doesnโt want me. The Empire abhors me.
Bringing back the Fae doesnโt seem to be an option the Anchar Empire is willing to consider.
Every Fae-blooded man or woman is to be eliminated to avoid any chance of the Lost Race returning.
And Iโm apparently the Empireโs worst fear.

Addison
I never thought I would see him again.
Especially while I was planning someone elseโs weddingโyet there he was holding hands with his girlfriend.
Our one night was wild and passionate; I could never forget him because it changed my life.
Now heโs hereโand the result of our one night is twirling in a princess dress at our feet.
Stefano
I didnโt make mistakes.
I was the one you called in when you needed answers.
I was cutthroat but they didnโt pay me to be nice.
I was in control every single second.
The only time I let my guard down was five years ago.
If I thought seeing the woman I could never forget again would throw me offโitโs nothing like seeing our daughter for the first time.
๐Review๐
When Addison spent one steamy evening with a sexy stranger she never expected that she would find herself a single mother with no emotional or financial support. Her daughter Avery is her world and she doesnโt regret her choice however she never expected to see him again let alone at the wedding she was coordinating.
Stefano is a serial dater whose relationships have never lasted longer than five months however finding out he is a father changes everything. Addison is the one woman he hasnโt been able to forget and he is determined to be the man that Avery and Addison need and show them that he wants them for now and always.
Stefano is swoony as once he sees Addison and Avery he knows that they are meant to be together and doesnโt hesitate to show them with everything he says and does. After all that Addison has been through it was heartwarming the way his family embraced and showed them what love truly meant.

When her nose isnโt buried in a book, or her fingers flying across a keyboard writing, sheโs in the kitchen creating gourmet meals. You can find her, in four inch heels no less, in the car chauffeuring kids, or possibly with her husband scheduling his business trips. Itโs a good thing her characters do what she says, because even her Labrador doesnโt listen to herโฆ
